Road will just be wet regardless-marginal temps and March Sun Angle. You would think they would know this by now after so many busted calls in March going back a few years.

wx2fish Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Nam and hrrr both look pretty good for the MA border/SNH crew. It was discussed earlier, but there might be a decent band in the vicinity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a guy who tried to show me up a few storms back on this very topic. I get it, sure…but it’s their job and they have the best forecasters supposedly advising them. We should never put teachers and students in danger, absolutely, but their seems to be minimal attention on the affects to parents. We both wfh so no big deal but we not all parents can and not all parents can take PTO either. The worst is daycare though. When they close, you still pay for the day and end up scrambling to find a sitter, which you pay $15-$20/hr for. It’s a double whammy, fairly substantial imo. All I am saying is to make the hit on families worthwhile. A true ‘snowstorm’ closure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, there are some that are really a head scratcher-for example the 2/4 "ice storm" Was ice really going to accrete in the middle of the day with temps falling to 32 after hours and hours of rain and temps in the low 40's? - about half the schools here are not air conditioned and we are up to 6/22 for end of school now-that becomes the problem too....

Ice is always a tricky one. If it is is the middle of the day I would question it for sure. Predawn, go with safety 1-2" of snow in March shouldn't require cancellations etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. Anyway, there are bigger problems to address so for now…I’ll enjoy rolling up a coating of snow on the lawn with my kid for a miniature snowman.
